BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:27): Can the minister clarify exactly how the opening of an autism-specific school, which we have also supported in Dignity for Disability, will assist people with borderline personality disorder or is he not aware of the difference between the two conditions?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:27): Mr President, I shake my head as well, frankly. This chamber should be, I think, welcoming of this government's commitment to deal with these issues in the areas of mental health and disabilities in our schools and education systems and, whilst sometimes you may not want to hear about these wonderful commitments and success stories, I can assure you, I will always tell you.

The Hon. K.L. Vincent: My question was: what does that have to do with BPD?

The PRESIDENT: Do you have a further supplementary? No; you are finished. The Hon. Mr Lucas.
